Spouse visa

[Hisbaibe 0]

Me and my husband got married July last year here in the philippines,he's back in US now,and I just gave birth to our son two months ago. We're about to start processing the papers soon, I just wanna ask how long will it takes for the visa? Also I have a 10 yrs old daughter shes using her father's name,and on her birth certificate there's a problem about my name,like on her BC my last name is different from what I am using,cos I didn't know that the name I've been using is not my real name (this just an example: my name on her BC is Jane santos Cruz but my real name that I am using on my passport and my nso BC is Jane Reyes santos) I know it's confusing but I just wanna know if it will cause problem when we apply for a visa? Is there a possibility that they will approved my visa and not hers or they will both denied us? And we're gonna start for our son's citizenship and passport at the embassy,how long it will take to get him a passport?

I hope you guys can answer my questions.

Thanks in advance!

The process for you and your non USC child can take 8-12 months.

Is the father listed on your other child's birth certificate?

good luck

The CRBA should take a couple of months max, depends on how quick you can get an interview.

The visa process for you and your husband's step-child will take 8-12 months as mentioned.

The birth cert of your child is an issue, they may think she is not your biological child. Can you get it changed to reflect your real name? If not, you may need to do a DNA test.

Sort out first your daughter's birth certificate. Find out how you can change it to whatever name you want to use. All documents must be consistent.

Thank you for your comment

Will it be ok if I just bring a notarized paper saying that the name on her BC and the name I am using is one person?

You have to ask NSO how to change your name on your daughter's birth certificate.

I doubt it- it's not proof by itself. Do you have bills etc in your name, to show that you have used the "wrong" name for years? You will also need an explanation as to why you were using the wrong name when the right one is stated on your birthcert and passport. It may take a bit longer, but getting the child's birthcert changed is a much safer option in terms of getting the US visa approved.
